ARNC Flies On New Titanium Alloy

As mentioned above, Arconic is having an incredibly strong start to the trading session this morning after announcing the launch fo a new titanium alloy. In a press release issued early this morning, the company announced the launch of the alloy called ARCONIC-THOR. In particular, the alloy was designed for higher temperature applications in next generation aero engines and adjacent structures.

In the release, ARNC said that the patented ARCONIC-THOR is almost 50% lighter than incumbent nickel-based superalloys, driving cost savings and fuel efficiency for customers. The new allow is also incredibly resistant to high temperatures and includes oxidation resistance to protect against deterioration. In a statement, Jeremy Halford, President of Engineering Structures at ARNC, had the following to offer:

ARCONIC-THOR is a breakthrough aerospace material that goes where conventional titanium alloys cannot… Next generation fuel-efficient aero engines are running hotter, presenting a materials challenge for the exhaust systems and adjacent structures. Drawing on our materials science expertise, our engineers formulated ARCONIC-THOR—a powerful titanium solution that can take the heat and unlock significant weight and cost savings for our customers.
